We now have GNOME Shell 50 in experimental (I'm typing this email into
it) and I've just done the usual MBF asking extensions authors to
update. This will also be the GNOME release used in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
I've checked with the GNOME team and there are no known blockers. May we
go ahead with the initial uploads?
This time, the group of entangled packages is:
* gdm3
* gnome-kiosk
* gnome-remote-desktop
* gnome-session
* gnome-shell
* mutter
all of which are GNOME-team-maintained.
Also gnome-shell-extensions, as usual; and the maintainers of some
third-party extensions will need to re-upload from experimental to
unstable:
- gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast
- gnome-shell-frippery
A few extensions haven't yet been ported, and will need removing when
the transition is otherwise ready, if not fixed by then:
- gnome-shell-extension-autohidetopbar
- gnome-shell-extension-flypie (NMU pending in DELAYED/14)
- gnome-shell-pomodoro
